1938 8th Grade Graduation Program.
In 1938 Hennepin County held a program for the 8th grade graduating classes of the Non-Minneapolis Public Schools.   The  ceremony was held at Excelsior Amusement Park, which then allowed the students and their families to enjoy a day at the park after the ceremony. This was never repeated and they returned to individual school ceremonies.
